My Facebook friend, Melissa Novak just posted a photo on her wall that really moved me. Look, I'll be honest I'm not one for tattoos. I don't have one, so pardon my ignorance. But I do want to share this photo.
As we all know Facebook has little robots in the background who will remove images that are not appropriate, but I can make a promise right now - I will never remove this one from my blog...
I work in the Breast Medical Oncology department at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and witness the horrors women - mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, etc. face day in and day out. And even today, I will never understand what it's like to live with this horrible disease - Breast Cancer.
I'll let the image speak for itself...

Susan G. Komen is now trying to backtrack to save their asses so they can keep their money and keep fooling people. Hell no, you already showed your true colors. They released the following letter, here. Thank you Newsweek!
For those who don't know, I work in Breast Cancer Research. I have for the past 9-1/2 years. The disease hits real close to home - I've had an aunt die from Breast Cancer, and it was not an easy thing to go through for my family.
I had another die from from Gynecological Cancer, and uncle from Lung Cancer. This disease is despicable, ruthless, and unforgiving and can hit anyone, at any time. So you can just imagine how I felt when I saw these posters, I absolutely fell in love with them. And being that countless of superhero movies are released each and every year, I thought I'd share it to remind people that it doesn't matter who you are - you can be the President, Secretary of State, a pastor, a teacher, a school bus driver, a dad, a mother, a sister, a brother, the list goes on. Nobody is immune to Breast Cancer - Nobody.
For those that don't know, breast cancer hits close to home... 1.) I've had an aunt succumb to this terrible disease 2.) I've had family die of other types of cancer, and 3.) I work for The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, specifically in the Breast Medical Oncology department.
It took nearly 30 years, more than 100,000 women to gather enough data to determine that those who drink more than three glasses of wine a week, increases the risk of Breast Cancer by 15%. And the more you drink, the greater the risk. But is it cause for alarm? Probably not, because it's also been shown that by drinking red wine you could help reduce the risk of heart disease. Watching the video below may help shed some light, but personally, if it was me, I wouldn't drink it. There are other ways you can prevent heart disease, but with breast cancer, it's not so easy.
As most of you already know, I work in the Breast Medical Oncology department of the #1 cancer hospital in the world. So when I saw this video, I couldn't wait to share it with my readers, friends, co-workers and Facebook pals.
The video is an advertising campaign for the new mobile app, "Your Man Reminder" released by the folks at Rethinkbreastcancer.com.
Rethink Breast Cancer is a charity helping young people who are concerned about and affected by breast cancer through innovative breast cancer education, research and support programs. Rethink is a national volunteer-driven registered charity with a bold, enterprising and entrepreneurial approach.
I'm sure the ladies and the gays will love it, but honestly, we can't overlook the importance of Breast Cancer Awareness. Do your part and share this with everyone you know. And men, you too, can get this terrible disease, don't overlook it.
